There seems to be a lot of anger on these boards lately, and most of it seems to be revolving around a few select people. Perhaps these quotes could be of service to those people? Or maybe not, the choice is yours my friends!   Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose and in the right way... that is not easy.
-- Aristotle.
Respect is mutual, if you don't respect others viewpoints, chances are they won't acknowledge yours.
-- Unknown.
Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.
-- Eric Hoffer.
The degree of one's emotion varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts: the less you know the hotter you get.
-- Bertrand Russell.
We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them.
-- Charles Caleb Colton. Blowing out another's candle will not make yours shine brighter.
-- Unknown.
To belittle is to be little.
-- Unknown.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get all dirty, and the pig likes it.
-- Unknown. Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
-- Benjamin Franklin. The fire you kindle for you enemy often burns you more than him.
-- Chinese Proverb.
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
-- Booker T. Washington.

at BlueRoamer.Another good one that sort of fits - "Hate is the poison we drink in the hope that it will kill others." Don't know who said that, but I really like it. I could probably do to think about it more often myself, actually. IP: Logged |

"My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine."~from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
"There wanst was two cats at Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many,
So they quarrell'd and fit,
They scratch'd and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails,
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there warn't any."
